[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 115833, member: 55"] On that subject, the marine grade that the cookie cutter boats is 5052 aluminum. A true marine alloy is 5086. Aluminum hulls can be marina stored for many many years without a problem. The key is the sacrificial anodes, and periodic maintenance. The fiberglass boat will need a different sort of maintenance than the alloy rig, but will still need much more in quantity. Take a look around at aluminumalloyboats.com if you want to see some "real" alloy boats that spend most, if not all of their life in salt, and hear what the owners say about the maintenance, or lack thereof.
